Wednesday, 28 September 05 :: left lane.

i want this left lane, the dvd. its alix olson. if i weren't exhausted i'd write a whole thing up about queer, me, alix olson and less angry activism. hopefully this will serve as a reminder to do so...

... if you haven't checked out alix, go.. she's got a bunch of good things to say and frankly whether she's queer or not, that doesn't matter, what matters is that she has some beautiful stuff to say about the world. what matters is that those who will listen to her, might get a better idea about queer, about love in its many different forms.

.... i'm not the lesbian i was when i was first introduced to alix olson, i'm not the angry activist i was even a few months ago.. but that doesn't mean that i can't appreciate what she does, and who she is.. i do. and i miss her coming into town and me laughing all through her shows.

.... yes, alix rocks my world. she makes me smile, and i know that my simple enjoyment of her poetry will keep me connected to a community that i hold dear to my heart.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
